After consistent rumours about Maruti Suzuki postponing the launch of the Ignis to 2017, the carmaker has clarified that the launch is on schedule and that they never delayed its scheduled launch. Showcased at this years' Delhi Auto Expo, the Ignis will be the first under-4 metre SUV from the carmaker to be sold in India. That said, India will become the second country after Japan to get the Ignis.

Not surprisingly, it will be retailed through the premium dealership of Maruti, the Nexa. This will be the third Maruti car to be sold through Nexa outlets, after the Baleno and the S-Cross.

Adorned with contemporary styling, the Ignis carries practical features like high ground clearance, large rear windshield, robust design, projector headlamps and commanding road view. Apart from this, it has neatly designed front profile, daytime running LEDs, flared wheel arches and blackened B-pillars. It gets large split tail lamps, rear bumper cladding and thick C-pillars. Still, the rear profile isn't really the angle to look at the Ignis.
